PBT Works – MiniSWASH
This machine is a budget solution for anyone who does not expect to clean PCBAs on daily basis. Typically Research and Development centres, prototyping, start-ups and very low volume producers would find this machine sufficient to achieve great results.
Application: Standard SMD Assemblies. Capacity: Small Volume Contamination Solubility: Easy to Moderate
Key Features
- Uses self- rinsing cleaning agents – no waste water problems from rinse
- Motor-driven spray-arms rotate simultaneously. Cleaning without risk of damage even to very thin and fine stencil
- Safety clutch and rotation monitoring of spray manifolds assures safe process and protection of stencil against damage from incorrectly placed stencils
- Spray chamber equipped with special automatically controlled exhaust/inlet air flaps. Hermetically closed during spray
- Efficient drying with hot air circulation and controlled ventilation through exhaust/inlet air flaps
- Compact design with very small floor space requirement
- Easy transport even through 80 cm doors

Key Features
Cleaning Technology
Cleaning quality requires perfect filtration and minimal cross contamination. Every PBT cleaning machine uses separated closed loop with dedicated pump and filtration system for each individual process step.
Wash
Machine washes parts by rotating spray system with the water based cleaning agent in a fully closed loop through complete mechanical filtration.
First Rinse
Machine performs first rinse down to required conductivity level using 16L carbon and mixbed filters.
Second Rinse
Machine performs second rinse with high purity deionized water down to the required conductivity. It reclaims water continuously through 25L carbon and mixbed filters.
Dry
Machine dries parts by convection hot air oven system.
Capacity
MiniSWASH integrated slide-in clamping system holds one PBT standard cleaning frame.
Single Set
For small volume cleaning of any-size PCBAs or mechanical parts in baskets.
Process Control
Cleaning process is sensitive to many variables.
Rotating Spray
Rotating spray offers very good cleaning results. Constant speed synchronized rotation assures great results repeatability.
Rotating Air Knife
Air Knife removes droplets and transfers heat directly to the parts, which significantly accelerates drying.
Adaptive Rinse Control
The rinse water conductivity is monitored by PBT Works conductivity sensor. Machine automatically adjust rinse time according to water quality values.
Chemical Filtration
Machine has 2-stage closed loop rinse water filtration. Compact solution for small volume cleaning.
High Performance Cleaning
Perfect result of PCBA cleaning requires short but powerful spray technology and rapid but thorough drying.
Liquid Pressure Monitoring
The pressure on the spray nozzles is continuously monitored by the control system. Values out of range typically indicates mechanical filter to be exchanged, or nozzles to be reviewed.
Programming and Data Capture
Perfect cleaning result requires detailed programing, quick visual and parametric evaluation of the entire process.
Basic Frame for PCBA
Standard PBT clamping frame for PCBA cleaning. Allows simple reloading directly on the machine.
PCBA Slide-In Slots
Special plastice slide-in slots for quick reloding. Perfect for high volume cleaning of the same sized PCBAs.
PCBA Horizontal Bars with Springs
Special springs for clamping PCBAs with perfectly balanced grip force.
PCBA Basket
Various sizes of precise welded baskets. Basic positioning solution for any part to clean.
Clamping
Usable Space
Maximal usable space for cleaned parts including specifically selected clamping
